See these articles from September 2008 about this subject from a liberal website. They list OpenSecrets.org donations to Dodd, Obama, Clinton, and McCain. (McCain got very little.)

Our presidential candidates certainly don’t get vetted very well when the national media are lapdogs for one party.

Perhaps Barney will haul Obama up for questioning and force him to return his bonus?

BWAHHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHAAAA. Yeah right.

Maybe Obama will just give it back to the people. Again, yeah, right.
